Justin's Guitar Recital

Video of Jadyn's project

Christmas Day

I slept on the couch.  The cat keeps getting in the stuff under the tree and I didnt want him or the dogs to get in the candy in the stockings.  But, mostly because my bed was covered in clothes and other stuff and I was too lazy to clean it off!  I tried to lay down at 0130.  The boys woke up at 0230 with tummy aches...Jared did feel warm, but I think Justin was just excited.  Got them back in bed around 0300.  @ 0415 Jadyn came down to steal my spot on the couch.  At first she didnt see the toys, but then she spotted them and got up to have a look.  With just a little bit of effort, I convinced her that we couldn't play yet and that we had to go to sleep.  This is her at 0430.



At 0530 Justin peeked downstairs and wanted to know if it was time to get up yet....he had been awake all night just sitting in his room.  At one point he did watch a movie.  I told him to come on down.  I figured if we got this over with I could go back to sleep soon. (Well, actually go to sleep for REAL!)



@ 0600 he wanted to get Jared up too.  It took a little bit of convincing, but then Jared was downstairs by 0630.



Jadyn was the only smart one...she was still asleep on the couch!


Even through all this!





0730 it was Jadyn's turn!




Then @ 0800 we opened presents from all the grandparents.








0845 the cat found the table we used for food and discovered a new view of the fish...


...and then another!



0900 the table came down and we heard Daddy calling on Skype.


0930 - Dakota has had enough.


...so has Jadyn!


Me too!  All this will have to wait! 1000 I'm going to BED!



We went to Elesha's for lunch around 1330.  We had a good time over there with friends.  I ate way too much :)  I forgot to take the camera so there are no pictures from there.  We got home around 1800 and we had hot chocolate and watched GForce. 
By 2130 Jadyn was in her OWN BED ASLEEP!!  Thanks to Santa for bringing her a tv so she doesn't have to sleep on the toy room floor any more, LOL.  Actually, we turned the playroom into her room on Wednesday.  She loves her new BIG room.  Jared fell asleep watching tv with Jadyn too.  How cute!



Christmas Eve

This was Jadyn's hands after her Christmas paint project thatshe left allover my guest room walls!  I am trying to get the video to load, but dont now where that link went.  You can see it on my FB page.


I had Christmas Eve at my house.  We had a house full again, and it was FUN!  The adults played "dirty Santa" hehe, yes it was g rated.  I had several people question my game when I posted the invitation.  It was just the chinese exchange game, lol.  The kids also exchanged gifts.




We always read the Christmas story before we go to bed.  Justin read it this year in place of Daddy.




Some of the Christmas goodies that "Santa" left.  This was about 1:30.  I then TRIED to go to sleep!



Guitar


Justin has been taking guitar lessons and had a parents night to show us all what they are learning.  I took videos too, but I can't figure out where the link to post a video went??

SNOW!!!!!!!

Of course, it didnt snow at all while Jerome was home!  bt right after Thanksgiving we got several days of SNOW!!!  One day we got 17 inches! 
Needless to say the last picture is how I will be handling it from now on!
